Giving 336 children in Bundibugyo a future through faith, education, and love.

Sponsor a Child

A Legacy of Hope Since 2016

Founded in memory of Ellen G. White, our school in Busoru Village serves orphans, disabled children, and families scarred by war and poverty.

After the ADF conflict (1997–2001) and devastating landslides, we became a refuge. Today, we teach 336 students — including 155 orphans and 13 with disabilities — with 15 dedicated teachers, many volunteering.

We are ranked among the best schools in Bundibugyo District.
